Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the cheese filling
  • 4 oz cream cheese Room temperature for easy mixing
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise Adds moisture
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese For a sharp flavor
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese Provides stretchiness
  • 1 tsp garlic powder For added flavor
  • 1/2 tsp seasoned salt Enhances the flavor
For assembling
  • 12 slices thick sliced Italian bread For sturdy sandwiches
  • 4 tbsp butter For a crispy finish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a medium bowl, mix together cream cheese, mayonnaise, cheddar, mozzarella, garlic powder, and seasoned salt.
  2. Divide the mixture evenly onto six pieces of Italian bread.
  3. Top with another slice of bread to create six sandwiches.
  4. Generously butter the outside of each sandwich.
Cooking
  1. Heat a skillet over medium heat and toast the sandwiches for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the bread is browned and the cheese is melted.
  2. Cover the skillet with a lid for half the cooking time to help melt the cheese thoroughly.
Serving
  1. Once cooked, slice the sandwiches in half and serve immediately.

Notes

For an extra crispy sandwich, use room temperature cream cheese, spread butter evenly, and keep the heat at medium. Let the sandwiches rest for a minute before slicing to help the cheese set slightly.
